Hi,
OK upgraded them all now.
Notes for those interested:
1) Updating nano failed unless /usr/man/man1 existed, and this stopped the update. 'mkdir -p /usr/man/man1'

2) Running lilo when the installer offered left the machines unbootable. (Just got 'LI' on the boot screen). Running lilo after the upgrade worked OK. 

3) The installer removed kde but didn't put it back. 'apt-get install kde' after the install did though.

4) Got some fairly random dpkg errors during one or two installs. Re-runing 'apt-get dist-upgrade' again sorted these.

5) Need to 'init S', remount / read-only and convert to ext3 at some point. That may involve some work.

Thanks for all the advice.
ta
Mike H
